Pros

It is the largest integrated oil& gas company with diversifications in upstream and downstream business.It is the most profitable company among all CPSE having Maharatna status. Working environment is good with friendly culture.Facilities,perks and salary highest among all CPSE,s.Medical facilities while in service as well after retirement are best in the country....better than that of civil services,other CPSE,s or even best multinational/desi companies. The company has opportunities for best career growth.All Director,s and CMD,s during last several years are from ranks only.There is a time scale promotion policy.There are ample opportunities in the company for Foreign Tours,Trips,Visits and Trainings abroad for technical persons and high ranking executives from any field. The company has also approved a defined contribution pension scheme for employees retiring after 1st Jan 2007.In this scheme pension of 50% of last basic pay drawn is guaranteed as pension,which is also a record for any CPSE,besides another pension under EPS-95 scheme. The company takes life long care for the employee and his spouse due to liberal monetary policies.

Cons

The company does not need talented employees.Once in job even a mediocre employee and talented employee is considered at par.Most of the employees based on just loyality to bosses gets quick promotions and highest profit sharing bonus due to highest ACR ratings,while the meritorous candidates are neglected just for refusing to be yes man of bosses.The scycophant cultural is visible everywhere.Due to which many bright employees despite highest salaries and best perks quit the company.

Pros

Joined the company after 5 years work - ex in two private companies. 1. Right now in the year 2017 when compared to private sector - one is well paid - at least at entry level. 2. Highly motivated employees. No doubt these guys are the best (I have seen) in terms of dedication, sincerity and hard-work, especially guys working in field. 3. Don't know if it's a boon or a bane but at one level everyone is paid same salary irrespective of one's specialization (Engineering, Management, Graduate) or the institute one has come from (an IITian or a management degree from any college or a simple graduate). "Sarva Upadhi vinirmuktam..."

Cons

1. Management is full of people who only talk, but never care to take the right path. For them target is to be completed ASAP. 2. Employee's safety is on paper and words only, can't say for off-shore, though. 3. Too much dependence on paper work. (One can practically experience see red tape-ism here) 4. Work conditions are pathetic. Doesn't looks like work space of "fortune-500" company (though exceptions are there for those working in higher echelons). 5. Ludicrous logic behind keeping all benefits for everyone. (An office guy gets the same no of dangri and safety shoes as a guy working in field/site say drilling/production). What a waste of resources. 6. Management doesn't care for the specific skill set one may have. They will just throw you randomly anywhere to work. 7. Except for salary and medical benefit employees physical, mental and emotional state are ignored. 8. Every thing here is "top-down", they just don't engage with the employees. Many of the cons I enumerated above are true for many public and private companies, but then how is ONGC different then? Are we setting a better standard ? Answer is 'NO'. Should we ? Yes!
